------- Comment #2 from d dot frey at gmx dot de 2008-02-27 12:02 ------- I understand where the names come from, but that doesn't make the message correct. Consider the specialization in the example program to use <_T2,_T1> (note the reversed order) and an instantiation with <int,double>, the resulting message is:
static void A<std::pair<_T1, _T2> >::f() [with _T2 = int, _T1 = double] which is *really* misleading. Since it's actually vice versa. Additionally I just found out that the same problem also occurs within error and warning messages from the compiler, so it's not limited to __PRETTY_FUNCTION__. I triggered a warning for an unused variable, which reads: foo.cpp: In static member function static void A<std::pair<_T1, _T2> >::f() [with T = int, U = int]: foo.cpp:17: instantiated from here foo.cpp:10: warning: unused variable i Regards, Daniel -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=35387
